Common Questions and Answers about Can i take celexa with wellbutrin

celexa

Avatar n tn Hi, I take celexa at night it makes me drowsy. Then I take welbutrin in the morning. It might work differently with you. As you see I'm on both. Good wishes.
Avatar f tn I am wondering if anyone has the same problem and what they are doing to help them. Are there any supplements I can take with these meds to help?
Avatar m tn It has been 11 years since I was first diagnosed with a bipolar spectrum disorder: first, cyclothymia, soon after bipolar 2, and, recently (after thorough re-examination of my long-term history) bipolar 1. My medication regimen has evolved to the point now where I'm maintaining on Lamictal and Celexa, with later additions of bupropion and most recently Strattera for symptoms of ADHD that persisted.
Avatar n tn As per my Dr. I started with Lexapro. Absolutely loved it but had sexual side effects and weight gain. Next Wellbutrin, did nothing for me. Next Effexor AND Wellbutrin. Slept 3 days straight on Effexor so had to go off of it. Now Celexa and Wellbutrin. Only day 4 but this one is giving me insomnia. Too soon to know if that will wear off and if it's working. My question is, my Dr knows I am concerned about not gaining more weight.
Avatar n tn This is good to know. I have been SO depressed lately. I went off Zoloft (because of the sexual side effect) in Feb. Then my thyroid went out of whack.... So I've been trying to get that straightened out (LOL) before I started my Wellbutrin. But I don't know if I can make it that long! hashihater - I would really talk to your Dr. about a different AD. They can stop working. I had that happen with Paxil, then was switched to Zoloft. ( BTW I had the same sexual problems on Paxil.
Avatar f tn These meds are just weird, they get weirder the older you get, and they affect everyone differently. I have heard that combining an ssri with wellbutrin can help with the weight problem, but then you're on two meds instead of one and wellbutrin can be stimulating and increase anxiety. Might be worth a try for you, who knows?
Avatar n tn I will be paying almost as much as the wellbutrin xl, which i am willing to do to feel better. Do I have to slowly get off of the celexa and make the switch to wellbutrin or can i just switch the next day?
1345272 tn?1276400328 yes I take cymbalta..wellbutrin and methadone for pain, I remember when I first went on antidepresents I was falling asleep all the time..three times even at a baby shower, It take a good month before you will even up and hopefully you will feel great. What you are going threw with your meds is very normal.
Avatar f tn I take 50 mg vyvanse, but for a month i was on wellbutrin. The wellbutrin cause be extremme levels of anxiety and made my vyvanse useless.
Avatar n tn i am on both wbhtrin and celexa. 450 then 20 celexa. i can feel it is helping. took a fricking montg though. im bipolar 1 and i def believe its helping keep my mood up. then again i have been on everything. u mite respond rite away. hooe this helps!! also. u may have to take it in the evening but it can be sedated. im on 900 mgs of seroquel so it doesnt bother me much.
Avatar f tn my dr wants me to try wellbutrin in the monring n celexa at night...i was on celexa and gained 18 lbs..i am sensitive with my weight i do not wanna gain weight...has anyone been on these combos ?
2069525 tn?1331349398 The only medication that has ever worked is celexa, but they say that people with bipolar I are not supposed to take antidepressants. I also have GAD and take klonopin. My question is if there is anyone that takes celexa and does well with it and has bipolar I? I feel great right now. I feel optimistic, I feel motivated and I don't feel guilty, depressed, like i was feeling just a few weeks ago, and now I'm afraid that now that I have a new diagnosis they will remove me from celexa.
Avatar m tn My own experience with Celexa and its newer cousin Lexapro is that I also felt dizziness and off kilter, particularly when changing doses. They also have as a common side effect the sweats. But so could stopping the wellbutrin so abruptly. I'd find a psychiatrist who has a better understanding of the ups and downs of taking meds, but that's just my opinion, and it's no guarantee.
Avatar n tn At the time, I was taking wellbutrin and celexa. I began taking notes on the events, and found that when I became agitated, irritated by people, that is experiencing negative emotions, THAT was when these episodes begin. Once, when my celexa ran out and it was a week before I could refill it, I noticed the intensity of these episodes was greatly reduced.
Avatar f tn ADs and BP disorder are always an interesting conundrum. I know that there have been extensive studies regarding a Zyprexa/Prozac combination for BP disorder. Those studies have shown to be effective. If you and your pdoc are thinking about going with Prozac, I would probably look into using it with Zyprexa. The ADs can be hit or miss, especially with BP folks. I know that I (along with many BP friends) have had serious issues with all of the ADs.
1727149 tn?1314159536 I read where some people take abilify or something else along with the Wellbutrin. I liked it due to no side effects. Just wish it would have worked. Most every thing else makes me dizzy and miserable. Thanks again. I may try the celexa when I get off the WB. I will call my Dr....just an MD and see if he wants to add something to it.
Avatar n tn Wellbutrin is combined with an array of antidepressants to boost the medications. It is common. 100 mg. is a low dose. Celexa is a good antidepressant, I am also on Celexa with 300mg of Effexor XL and have had good success. The valium 5 mg. is also a low dosage. Normally Valium is given for short term treatment of anxiety because it is addicting. My guess is he will eliminate the Valium eventually and increase her other meds. I am no doctor but this is my guess.
Avatar f tn I take Wellbutrin strictly for OCD anxiety. I do not have a history of depression.
Avatar f tn for him or at least back to how i was before i had him. I guess my question is should I try the celexa at this point or not? I'm so tempted to but also scared because of my other meds.
Avatar f tn DO I give it a shot or stay on the celexa and maybe add something with it ( her suggestion, wellburtrin ) I have been on the Celexa since last summer. Really confused about meds.
Avatar m tn I've been on Wellbutrin for about 5 years and I just love it. I also take Celexa (7 yrs) with it (not my choice, but my Doc's suggestion). I suffer from major depression, so I'm afraid to get off the Celexa, but if I could, I would love to be on just Wellbutrin and nothing else. For me, Wellbutrin has no bad side-effects, although we are all different. I was reading another thread today and another poster said that Wellbutrin made her "crazy"....
Avatar n tn I have been on 300 MG of Welbutrin SR for almost 3 weeks now. I take it along with Lamictal. I started the Wellbutrin because the others I have tried (celexa, cymbalta, lexapro) weren't helping. Since I have begun, I have been so irritable and sad, and crying for sometimes no reason at all. I am not sure that this is making me feel better or worse. Have your symptoms gotten any better?
1166402 tn?1303847056 From a neurobiological point of view, mirtazapine is my number 1 choice due to complicated antagonizing effects on various 5-HT receptors and it's noradrenergic action. What is good with mirtazapine are the cognitive enhancements. Most antidepressants can give you memory trouble etc but mirtazapine can improve memory. Instead of switching medication right now I would try to add Wellbutrin to take in the morning.
433485 tn?1321813390 Hi. I was on Celexa and Wellbutrin, plus 1/2 mg. Klopin tid before this latest episode. Also, I goofed in my post. I was on 1 mg of Klonopin tid, not 2 mg. I had been on Zoloft that pooped out over a year ago, that's when we went to Celexa. During the last episode of anxiety/depression he started to think that it could possibly be bipolar 2 or a mood disorder . That is why he started me on the lamictal and seraquel.
950277 tn?1247274551 BP pts take wellbutrin, celexa, lexapro in the majority of the cases. A few take seroxat/paxil to go with lamictal. But my experience if you have unipolar depression then it';s OK BUT for BP you eventually will end up in mania. I tried all sorts of antidep[ressants you just name it. The only one i haven't tried is St John's Wart (natural herbs) but it is said also that it can bring mania. BP pts take usually a mood stabilizer not an AD even if they have a bipolar depression.
